    I quite like that idea, but my hands would be covered in sheep shit by the end of it...

    I am also challenged on the pushup front because of my shoulder...

    Re: The 100 push up challenge

    Started doing some circuit training last week:

    Set 1 – 1 pullup, 2 pushups, 2 dips, 5 situps Set 2 – 2 pullups, 4 pushups, 4 dips, 10 situps….
    Keep going up the pyramid to set ten
    Set 10 – 10 pullups, 20 pushups, 20 dips, 50 situps
    Then repeat in reverse order back Set 1

    Did up to Set 5 and then back down, giving 25 pullups, 50 pushups, 50 dips, 125 situps.

    Ached like ten men the day after, but going to persevere and see if i can reach Set 10 before i cark it

    No rest between sets
